NIGP's governance structure empowers and engages members in volunteer leadership through an expanded organizational structure that provides opportunities for members to serve the profession in meaningful ways.
Rather than operate from a single Board of Directors, NIGP 2.0 is centered on a Governing Board and three critical Councils with specific roles and responsibilities. This approach allows the Governing Board to focus on strategies necessary to drive the profession and Institute while delegating the governance of key functions to the three Councils:
Within this structure, a number of Council Committees were created to support the work of the Councils. Additionally, the structure includes a number of Operational Committees that have been created to support the work of NIGP’s professional team.
NIGP 2.0 has a four-part governance structure made up of a Governing Board, Finance Council, Member Council, and Talent Council. Each Board and Council has specific responsibilities and add value to the Institute through their focused roles. Volunteers on each Board and Council work together to develop a strategy that aligns with the mission and vision of the Institute.
A unique feature of NIGP 2.0 is the inclusion of external thought leaders. These leaders are not practicing public procurement professionals. However, they are invaluable stakeholders due to their unique expertise and diverse perspectives in strategies and techniques that are critical to NIGP’s success. Thought leaders are appointed to every governing body except the Member Council.
The Board of Directors Policy Manual contains all the NIGP policies and practices that the Board is required to follow in conjunction with the Institute's governance and management. It also provides detailed directives to governance issues outlined in the Institute’s Articles of Organization and Bylaws.
The Board of Directors Policy Manual may be amended by majority vote of the Board of Directors either at a regularly scheduled Board meeting or by fax vote ballot. Unanimous consent is required for a fax vote.
